Front

Define momentum.

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

What is impulse?

Back

Impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over a period of time.

Front

How is impulse related to force and time?

Back

Impulse = Force x Time.

Front

What happens to momentum in a closed system during a collision?

Back

Momentum is conserved.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v).
